3 Introduction To help document the need for funding the necessary replacement and upgrading of facilities within California s community college districts and to assist districts in preparing for bond issues, the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC) negotiated a discounted-pricing agreement for facilities condition assessments with. In summer 2001, the FCCC issued a formal Request For Information (RFI) in a public newspaper and subsequently reviewed, considered, and evaluated the respondents experience and quality of work, particularly work with higher education clients. Coast Community College District (CCCD) elected to participate in the joint agreement and contracted with 3D/I to assess and document the facility repair, rehabilitation, modernization requirements relative to the CCCD. Over a period of about two months, a staff of six planning and construction professionals working with the Chancellor s Office performed an Existing Facility Assessment. The following report presents s findings. Orange Coast College Campus Map The Report is organized into the following 4 sections: Introduction Assessment of Existing Facilities Orange Coast College Reports Golden West College Reports Coastline Community College Reports The Assessment of Existing Facilities section reports on the current physical condition of one hundred eleven buildings, totaling approximately 1,363,541 gross square feet. Golden West College Golden West College Campus Map The results of the assessment will provide CCCD with the technical information needed to make informed decisions regarding the disposition of existing facility maintenance funds and the need and cost of a capital improvement program.

4 conducted a visual inspection of one hundred eleven of the existing CCCD facilities to identify the condition and to estimate the cost to perform the necessary repairs and renovations. Existing Facility Assessment Findings The generally accepted range of Facility Condition Index (FCI) for establishing a buildings condition is shown below. This standard has been adopted by the Building Owners and Managers Association, the Council on Education Facilities, and the American University Planners Association, and a number of other national facilities groups. Condition FCI Good 0 to 5% Fair 6 to 10% Poor 10% and above The results of our assessment are summarized in the FCI tables on pages 7 and 8. The estimated initial cost to repair these one hundred eleven facilities totals $81,209,107. The overall FCI rating of 19.45% for the one hundred eleven buildings assessed means that, in general, the facilities are in poor condition despite being generally well maintained. Thirty-five buildings have an FCI less than 10%, the range for good or fair condition. Six buildings have FCI ratings in excess of 50%. When the FCI is greater than 70% the building should be considered for replacement, as opposed to investing the substantial costs to repair a 30 to 40 year old building with systems well beyond their useful lives. A more detailed discussion on the methodology and findings for each of the District buildings is provided in the Assessment of Existing Facilities section of this report.

5 Assessment of Existing Facilities In early 2002, Coast Community College District authorized to perform a district-wide, comprehensive facility condition survey assessment. The costs associated with correcting deficiencies can be identified as follows: Deferred Maintenance maintenance work that has been deferred on a planned or unplanned basis due to lack of funds in the annual budget cycle excluding normal maintenance that has already been scheduled, planned or funded within the current budget cycle. Capital Renewal future renewal requirements for building systems that reach the end of their expected useful life. Fine Arts Gallery, Golden West College The comprehensive facilities assessment performed for CCCD is a detailed visual, non-destructive, inspection of each building. 3D/I s software, COMET Condition Management Estimation Technology is used as the database for recording all deficiencies. The survey assessment is a comprehensive room-by-room inventory of defined key elements and characteristics. The result of the inspection is a populated database that catalogs every deficiency costing over a certain value. In parallel with the FCCC-3D/I agreement for discounted facility condition assessment services, an information technology project referred to as the Facility Utilization, Space Inventory Options Net or FUSION Project is underway. This project will design and deliver a centralized database and software in which the facility condition assessment data will reside and be used and managed by the districts to better manage their real asset portfolio. Approach The assessment teams are comprised of design professionals, typically an architect and an engineer. For each building, the teams collected much of the facility s historical information prior to visiting the facility. This research included a review of existing drawings, meetings with the campus maintenance staff, and a review of previous renovations. The assessment teams then conducted a site visit to verify data already gathered as well as to record additional information found during the inspection. Based on visual observations and discussions with facility occupants and maintenance staff, the assessors determined what deficiencies existed and the general conditions of key building systems. A written description of the facility, including an overview of the facility s construction, building systems and general condition, was then developed.

6 Background Since its founding in 1947, the Coast Community College District has enjoyed a reputation as one of the leading community college districts in the United States. Coast Community College District plays an important role in the community by responding to the needs of a changing and increasingly diverse population. The California Community Colleges Chancellor s Office encouraged districts within the CCC System to take advantage of the discounted assessment service to generate an unbiased appraisal of the school s physical conditions and to obtain recommendations for building system replacement based on priorities and expected useful life. Facilities One of the findings of the assessment process is the determination of the Facility Condition Index, or FCI. The FCI is a ratio of the estimated cost to repair the identified deficiencies divided by the estimated replacement value of the facility. It describes the relative state of physical condition of a building (or its components, or a group of buildings) against a cost model of the original building as if it were at the beginning of its useful life, fully renewed to today s standards. Condition FCI Good 0 to 5% Fair 6 to 10% Poor 10% and above Summary of Findings The costs presented below are a summary of the findings of the assessment for the current deficiencies. The costs do include soft costs associated with a rehabilitation project. These costs can change based on the packaging of repair and renovation projects. Campus Estimated Repair Cost Gross Square Feet FCI % Replacement Cost Coast CCD $81,209,107 1,363, % $417,479,888 Hard Cost $60,378,484 $310,393,792 Soft Cost $20,830,623 $107,086,096 Based on current industry standards, the campus FCI indicates the facilities are in poor condition.

10 It is accepted practice within the field of professional property management to consider replacement rather than repair of an asset when the FCI for that facility is in the range of 60 70% or higher. For facilities with an FCI in or near this range, the master planning process should carefully weigh issues such as: Student population (current versus planned) of the school in question The condition of the existing foundations and superstructures. The need for additional space, i.e., new construction. The appropriateness of the location of current assets. Provided in this report are cost estimates to renovate the facilities and eliminate the identified deficiencies. Please note that these estimates reflect incorporating current building standards, codes, and livability issues into the renovation. The cost estimates do not reflect upgrades to: Forum Building, Orange Coast College the architectural program e.g., additional square footage for another educational mission; finishes e.g., terrazzo tile in lieu of concrete; and/or systems replacement of a 200 Amp electrical service with a 300 Amp service, which may in fact be more applicable for today s educational mission/program but would require further engineering and study to determine the appropriate service for today s learning environment.

11 Capital Renewal Funding Requirements 10 Year Renewal Projection The following chart illustrates the 10-year total funding requirements for the Coast Community College District for three (3) funding scenarios. It shows the combined funding needed for correcting the assessed deficiencies and the predicted capital renewal requirements. Using this chart, we can query: How much funding is required to maintain the current FCI? What level of funding is required to achieve an FCI of 10%? What level of funding is required to achieve an FCI of 5% Future Facility Funding vs FCI for Coast CCD $35,000,000 Current FCI = 19.45% 20.0% $30,000,000 $25,000, % 16.0% 14.0% $20,000,000 $15,000, % 10.0% 8.0% $10,000,000 $5,000, % 4.0% 2.0% $0 0.0% Year Funding Plan 1 FCI% Progress 1 Funding Plan 2 FCI% Progress 2 Funding Plan 3 FCI% Progress 3 Funding Plan Total Red $7.1 M $9.2 M $10.0 M $7.3 M $1.9 M $6.8 M $6.6 M $1.2 M $2.0 M $9.9 M $62.0 M Blue $9.8 M $12.0 M $12.9 M $10.2 M $4.9 M $9.9 M $9.8 M $4.5 M $5.3 M $13.3 M $92.3 M Green $10.6 M $12.8 M $13.7 M $11.1 M $5.8 M $10.8 M $10.7 M $5.5 M $6.4 M $14.4 M $101.7 M

12 Three scenarios are shown: Current FCI: Keep the current FCI Stable (Red) The red line assumes no spending in the current year (2003) for current deficiencies. Capital renewal costs, as shown, over the next 10 years would be required to maintain the current FCI. The total to keep the FCI stable is approximately $62 million. Required funding: Reduce the FCI to 10% (Blue) The green line assumes no spending in the current year (2003) for all current deficiencies. It assumes a consistent level of funds for the next 10 years to buy-down the current deficiencies and additional funding for capital renewal items to achieve an FCI of 10%. (Minimal standard as published by APPA.) The total to reduce the FCI to 10% is approximately $92.3 million. Required funding: Reduce the FCI to 5% (Green) The blue line assumes no spending in the current year (2003) for all current deficiencies. It assumes a consistent level of funds for the next 10 years to buy-down the current deficiencies and additional funding for capital renewal items to achieve an FCI of 5%. The total to reduce the FCI to 5% is approximately $101.7 million.

13 20 Year Capital Renewal Forecast The cost models for each building give us a method to predict future needs for capital renewal. Each model allows us to assess the remaining life of each of the main systems in the building and to enter the expected time of replacement of such systems. Although each model is only a rough approximation for one building, over a larger sample size use of these cost models produces a reliable estimate of the yearly cost to replace building systems. This chart illustrates a 20-year projection of capital renewal funding requirements, excluding current deficiencies for the entire district. Facility Renewal Forecast for Coast CCD $45,000,000 $40,000,000 $35,000,000 $30,000,000 $25,000,000 $20,000,000 $15,000,000 $10,000,000 $5,000,000 $0 Year Coast CCD

14 Conclusions The overall FCI of the facilities in the Coast Community College District is 19.45%, typical of what we find for facilities of similar age and function across the nation. While this is a poor FCI (as defined by the APPA) the facilities are generally well maintained. The majority of the deferred maintenance requirements are of the type that can be renewed without demolition of the facility. (e.g., mechanical and electrical systems, wall and floor finishes, and exterior doors and windows.) Not all facilities should be renovated; however, renovation should remain an option as the planners consider educational master plans, new buildings, high growth areas, population, etc.

15 Facilities Assessment Methodology COMET Assessments Condition Management Estimation Technology Facility Management Software The basic level of surveys to be performed within the CCC System is referred to as Level 1 or Level 2 assessments. A Level 1 (L-1) assessment is a mathematical model of a facility s component building systems, which is used to determine their conditions based on the components planned life cycles. It is a strategic tool for programming and budgeting capital renewal costs; a macro view of facility status. A Level 2 (L-2) assessment is a detailed physical survey of the condition of existing facilities wherein the assessors document hundreds or thousands of current deficiencies. These deficiencies are added to the L-1 component building system life cycles to determine a comprehensive facility evaluation of both current deficiencies and future renewal costs. It is a tool for facility managers to identify specific deferred maintenance and capital renewal items to repair or replace. The majority of the facility condition assessment being performed by 3D/I, for Districts within the California Community College System, are Level 2 assessments. For this type of assessment, data is collected from a review of as-built drawings and other current documents as well as a complete but nondestructive visual inspection of facilities. Typical areas of buildings that are investigated include roofs, mechanical rooms, and exterior support areas extending to 5 feet from the building. Coastline Community College The first phase of an L-2 assessment is the review of the floor plans of each facility to be assessed. Next a hierarchical structure (a tree or parent/child relationship) that captures the facilities and all interior rooms and spaces is designed in the COMET software. The tree structure provides the assessor a road map of the building and the lowest level of the tree structure is where the deficiencies are recorded. The next step is developing cost models for the life cycles of building systems. This includes reviewing existing documents to determine types, ages, and components of the buildings, and the dates and scope of any recent renovations. 3D/I s cost models are based on RS Means building material estimates and the Business Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) estimated useful life of building components. However, COMET can be customized to reflect individual client s project or O&M cost histories and to account for particular environmental or operational conditions such as excessive moisture and heat or continuous operation. Also considered are preventative maintenance efforts, since they can often significantly affect the number of years a system can remain in operation.

16 Priorities Filters Each deficiency is assigned a Priority as described below. Priority 1: Directly Affects the Educational Mission Systems or elements within systems that should be repaired or replaced to mitigate issues that prevent the educational mission of the facility. Priority 2: Indirectly Affects the Educational Mission - Systems or elements within systems that should be replaced or repaired to maintain the educational mission of the facility or mitigate additional damage to the facility. Priority 3: Beyond Expected Useful Life Systems or elements within systems that should be replaced or repaired to maintain the mission of the facility but potentially have some life left. Priority 4: Finishes and Improvements Systems or elements within systems that should be replaced or repaired or upgraded that have minimal impact on the educational mission of the facility. Categories Each deficiency is classified into one of the following categories. Life Safety Code Compliance Building Code Compliance Accessibility Code Compliance Capital Renewal Deferred Maintenance Energy Efficiency Improvement Hazmat Adverse Effects Each deficiency is assigned one of the following risk potentials. Campus / Facility Closure Safety Hazard Disruption of Program Code Violation Greater Future Damage / Cost Inconvenience Potential / Future Damage / Cost

17 City Index Definitions The R.S. Means data used to develop the cost models is a national average. As such, we modified the costs using a standard index published by the R.S. Means Corporation. Facility Condition Index (FCI) The FCI represents the relative physical condition of facilities. The FCI measures the estimated cost of the recommended improvements and compares that to the replacement cost of the facility. The total cost of repairs divided by the facility replacement cost is the FCI. A higher FCI indicates a facility in worse shape. For example, if a building has a replacement value of $1,000,000 and has $100,000 of existing deficiencies, the FCI is $100,000/$1,000,000 or The generally accept rule of thumb in building condition assessments is: Condition FCI Good 0 to 5% Fair 6 to 10% Poor 10% and above Associated Students Bookstore, Orange Coast College Facility Systems Conveying: Elevators Electrical includes alarms and communications, lighting, power, service and distribution. Excavation includes any digging for underground access or removal of soil. Exterior Closure includes exterior doors, trim, caulking, etc. Exterior Walls includes refinishing and painting exterior surfaces and materials. Fire Sprinkler includes fire protection systems. Foundations include work to repair footings or level slabs, etc. Heating & Cooling System includes boilers, cooling, HVAC piping, insulation, mechanical components like pumps and controls. Interior construction includes ceiling finishes, flooring finishes, interior doors, stairs, wall finishes and walls. Plumbing includes potable and sanitary piping and plumbing fixtures. Roof includes all components of a roofing system including the deck, insulation, membrane, and any special work such as gutters or repairing flashing, etc. Slab on Grade includes any repairs, removal, or replacement after other work is done.

18 Special Construction includes chalk and tack boards, seating, etc. Structural includes framing system, columns, beams, and slabs. Superstructure includes the exterior walls. Windows includes repair or replacement of window units. Structural: superstructure (columns, beams, footings, foundations, slab-on-grade, etc) Facility Replacement Cost This represents the derived expense to rebuild the existing facilities in a manner representing the desired construction. The replacement cost is determined by multiplying the gross area of the facility by the estimated cost per square foot cost value associated with the pertinent cost model. Renewal Premiums The costs developed in the models are typical of new construction. When a renovation project is undertaken, certain additional costs are incurred for some systems because of demolition and difficulty. For other systems, not all items in the assembly are replaced. In these instances the reduction in work overcompensates for the demolition costs, and a lower cost is incurred. The table below details our strategy for this issue by system group. System Name Life (yrs) % Renewal Conveying 25 75% Electrical 30 90% Exterior Closure % Exterior Walls % Fire Protection 25 95% Foundations % IntCeil % IntDoor % IntFinish % IntFloor % IntPart % Mechanical 30 90% Plumbing 30 90% Roof Deck % Roofing % RoofOpSp % Special Construction % Special Electrical 10 90% Stairs % Structural % Structural walls % Windows %

19 Hard and Soft Costs Hard Costs include the installing contractors cost (RS Means data), site work, the contractor s general conditions, the general contractors overhead and profit and an amount for construction contingency. Soft costs are additional costs, which are necessary to accomplish the work, but are not directly attributable to the general contractor or the deficient system. Soft costs vary by user but can include design fees; specialized investigations such as geotechnical, environmental, or hazardous material; program management fees; and various administrative fees. The soft costs used in this assessment are as follows: New Construction Cost Breakdown for Cost Models Description Percentage Hard Cost 1. Total Subcontractor/Specialty Costs R.S. Means Assembly price 2. Site Work 12.0% of 1 3. Area Location Factor 8.0% of 1 4. General Conditions 15.0% of (1+2+3) 5. Contractor Overhead and Profit 10.0% of ( ) 6.
